Cumbia Diciembre, Ottawa Colombian Party 2006

Cumbia is believed to be a variant of the African Guinean cumbe music. Cumbia started in the northern region of Colombia, mainly in or around Cartagena during the period of Spanish colonization. Spain used its ports to import African slaves, who tried to preserve their musical traditions and also turned the drums and dances into a courtship ritual. Cumbia was mainly interpreted with just drums and claves.

The slaves were later influenced by the sounds of Amerindian instruments from the Kogui and Kuna tribes settled between the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and the Montes de María; like the millo flutes, gaita flutes and güiros. Africans and Amerindians working together as slaves created a mixture from which the gaitero (cumbia interpreter) appeared, with a defined identity by the 1800s.

  • @beyapanda diciembre llego or dicember is caming!!!!

  • what song is this? can anyone tell me :) please and thank you!

  • No hay nada más bonito en la cumbia que ver las faldas coordinadas...eso básico. Falta más postura en los hombres....y acá si deben moverse un poco más. La canción es aceptable, pero a la hora de montar una cumbia inclinense por una de Gaitas y Tamboras. Hay que mejorar el montaje coreográfico. Sigan adelante y échenle muchas ganas. El que persevera, alcanza.
